Yahya and his sister Hayat met fear, destruction, and the sound of bombs with faith, play, and laughter. Through it all, they held on to hope and to life. We hope that one day we will see them again, safe at home in Gaza, when peace has returned and children can simply be children.
Why we love it
Through Yahya and Hayat's faith and courage, readers are reminded that hope can endure even in the darkest times. Their story offers a child's perspective on life in Gaza while celebrating the strength of family, the power of imagination, and the determination to keep dreaming of a better future.
